Donate to A Visit from Saint Nicholas

Make the joy of Saint Nicholas' visit

come alive for deserving children.

The Legend of Saint Nicholas

Remembered for his special love of children, Saint Nicholas is the subject of many legends of philanthropy.

Saint Nicholas was a virtuous man who was known for his charity and philanthropic spirit.  Today, Saint Nicholas Feast Day is celebrated as a children's holiday in many countries throughout the world and honors human kindness that helps build every community.

The Event

Volunteer Memphis celebrates Saint Nicholas Day with volunteers anonymously playing his role by secretly visiting thousands of underprivileged children in pre-selected schools throughout the Memphis area.  Children arrive on this magical morning to find gold tinsel sprinkled in the hallways, and on each desk is a backpack filled with books and toys.  Volunteers then read the Legend of Saint Nicholas to each classroom.
